Author	Thread: Why get married and have kids?
Admin	Why get married and have kids? Posted : 25 May, 2011 02:17 PM Flipping through profiles on here is so interesting... ! There are guys who express a deep longing to be fathers; others who have a hatred toward children. There are guys who talk about needing a woman who meets very specific physical specifications; others who mention nothing of the sort. There are guys who talk about compatibility in areas such as political beliefs, childrearing, Biblical worldview, etc.; other guys who ramble on about needing a woman who likes certain activities. I think that all of these are very telling. They tell me: 1. What a guy values in life. 2. What a guy thinks makes a relationship/marriage work. 3. What a guy sees as a woman's worth. 4. What a guy thinks the purpose of marriage is. When I've looked at profiles, I evaluate it on all 4 of those points (as well as some other things). I must say that 90% of the guys I come across on here don't state anything on those points that line up to what the Bible says. But maybe I'm misinterpreting or just being harsh. So, I'll just ask point blank: Why do you think people should get married and have kids? What's the point of it all? More specifically, why do YOU want to get married and have kids? And if you don't want kids, I'd love an explanation for that, too! =) And this, too: What do you think the Biblical definition of a wife is? Is that really want you want, or are you actually looking for something else? Post Reply
View Profile History	Why get married and have kids? Posted : 25 May, 2011 03:30 PM Marriage is one of the greatest examples of Christ's love for us. I've always wanted to get married and share my life with another, to be worthy of them as they are worthy of me. Most ppl look at this from the angle of what they believe works because of what they've witnessed or what they hear worked. I want God to guide me bcuz no two couples are the same. As God is the head and you get closer to Him you grow closer in love. I wanna have kids someday if it is God's will. that's just thoughts of the top of my head. Good question. Post Reply
View Profile History	Why get married and have kids? Posted : 25 May, 2011 06:39 PM I like kids and I want one. At least one. Maybe 2? 3? 17? I kinda wish I lived in a time when people had a bajillion kids who would help them run the family farm. I would probably give up everything I have for a family on a farm where I get to work with my kids all day long. I also think I'm getting old. Not that 28 is old, but, as I've said before, I want to be young and strong enough to kick my boy's butt if he does something stupid in his prime. Or my daughter's punk boyfriend. I've seen what happens when a rebellious 17 year old loses his fear of his old and decrepit father, and that isn't anything I want to happen to me. I think my profile outlines the girl I want easily enough. Christian. No other requirements. I mean, I won't complain if she's got a doctorate from Harvard and models for Victoria's Secret in her spare time. I'm just saying that I like girls and I can imagine marrying a tolerable lot of them, so why not take a Christian one and make the rest of my miserable life tied to that ball and chain a holy one, right?

At that point, you have your own clan! Shoot, that's two full baseball teams if you play. Sorry, I just had to comment on that. I'm not really sure how to answer the question. Post Reply
Ivory_Guitar View Profile History	Why get married and have kids? Posted : 25 May, 2011 11:13 PM I want to have kids, because I want somebody to teach my life experiences to. So that I may live on in a sort of sense. The Bible also teaches to be fruitful and multiply. Why get married? It gives that feeling of officiality and exclusiveness. I certainly don't want to go through life alone, without a partner beside me. Post Reply

View Profile History	Why get married and have kids? Posted : 26 May, 2011 09:37 AM Why have kids? I used to think it would be cruel to bring kids into this world, knowing that at some point you'll be leaving them alone to it. Now I realise that unless we keep the candle burning through the next generation, the world would soon succumb to darkness. I mean, the atheists aren't going to teach their kids about Jesus are they!? On a personal level, it's great to have someone who loves you totally with no hidden agenda or conditions, someone that you can mould into a person you'd be proud to call son or daughter (or learn to be proud of them even if you can't mould them!). And their innocence is inspirational; it helps balance the evils we see every day in the adult world. Why do I want to get married? Because I believe a man and woman in love with each other are the best influence a child can have, because she would balance out my extremes and give a different viewpoint to me. Because I love to cuddle my children and my wife, but she can give me love in a special way no one else should. Because seeing her happy brightens up my bad days. For back rubs and light caressing (non-sexual type but great if it develops from there!). I guess there's a million different reasons for both, and importance of any of them depends on how I'm feeling at the time... Post Reply

TonyP View Profile History	Why get married and have kids? Posted : 26 May, 2011 06:16 PM being a christian women is the main requirement for me. I am getting to old for kids I have one that is 19 now and missed out on a lot of his life when he was growing up so if I had another chance to be a father I would like that. I would like to find my mate to share my life with, grow in christ and all the ups and downs to have someone there with me through the good and bad times would be great. Post Reply
